[labnetwork] Nano Lab Managers: off-campus budget line support?

[Robert Cornwall]

Penn State does not receive any support from the state for our clean room
operations.  

 

I hope it goes well for you facility

Ian,
No non-campus budgetary support received.
I am rooting for your success so many of us
can point to you.
Sincerely,

Dear Micro/Nano Lab Colleagues, 

 

I just had a very positive discussion with our AVP-R acknowledging that
she never expects our lab to break even.

 

(!!)

 

But for sustainability she wants to go after a legislative line item to
fund our O&M and the lab and asset management/automation software that
will link to other areas of campus and to off-campus resources.

 

Her question is:  What other research labs receive non-campus budgetary
support (other than user fees, Dean, VP, etc.), such as an endowment, or a
state or other government line item support of ongoing costs to keep
prices low to the researchers?  

 

If she can point to peers who are recognized for the importance of the
facilities by stakeholders who strategically provide for ongoing costs,
then she feels like she can make the case.

 

Your assistance is greatly appreciated!

 

-Ian
